Finished Nungas!

Will be starting tomorrow.

Making the most of the rest of today to get my chompers into YESSSSSSS!!!

I'm currently reading Blood Promise. I'm in chapter 9, but I don't feel very excited. So far, it's very boring.

Hmmm, I'm not holding out much hope for VA if I'm honest. The only reason I want to finish the series is so then we can talk about how rubbish it is.

I'm now reading I love this series. XD

Oh yeah, start of BP was God awful. Ending was good, though. Will VA be joining our Twilight rants? :p

I think it will. I still haven't bothered to get Frostbite yet lol.

I think it will too. I don't hate VA, but there are a lot of things that are annoying me. Yesterday I managed to get to chapter 13 and nothing has happened! This book is so full of unnecessary stuff that I'm going to break somebody's neck.

Hehehe, yeah it doesn't get exciting until about 150 pages from the end. I'm not sure why they let her publish her books with so much filler and so little action. If they'd taken out about 200 - 300 pages per book, they could have been very good. As they are, they're mediocre leaning towards bad.

I'm now reading I'm having to fly through these. =/

Yeah but they're also really really short. They look long because the font is relatively big and very spaced. I should finish Fell Off In My Hand later today.

I know, but I don't have the attention span to rush a good book! You've really caught up! I'm only two in front now! XD

It's ok, you'll have time to get ahead again because I don't think I'll get much time for reading this weekend! :( Plus I want to finish Spectyr. Only got about 50 pages left but the type is very small so it takes a while to get through the pages compared with how fast I flick through Georgia!

I know, but I need to be reading . Awww, I won't be reading a great deal either. =( Although that's because I'll be watching the F1 =) I hate small print, it makes me weep into a larger print book.

I checked numbers on Bol and that edition (UK I guess) takes 2-3 weeks to ship :/ The other one (one with the eye) is next day delivery but only books 1 and 2 are avilable so far and book 2 is still hardback. So numbers will go on the back burner for me, though I do like the sound of the idea behind it.

F1 watching is better than article writing. :p I'm usually ok with small print, unless there's no spacing between the lines then sometimes I yearn for larger print.

Awww... it's a really good series. =( I don't actually like the other cover.

It really is! XD Fair enough. I've always had trouble with small print. It drives me batty!

Yeah I don't like it much either. Pooey. I'll look into it again when I get back from France.

And Mr Arie has standby so he'll be ignoring me all day... which is pretty much what he does anyway. At least it means he won't have standby next weekend so I may be able to wring a day out to Utrecht out of him! I'm ok with it until I get tired and then I have to stop of my eyes go fuzzy for days and that is not fun.

Yeah, well the third one's available over here but it's only just come out, so I don't know how long it will take for it to reach where you are.

Awww, poor you. I hate it when I get ignored. I make a huge fuss. Look at the positives lol. You see I can read it I just prefer not to.

Third one is in paperback here in August. I can get them as soon as they're out over there, I just have to wait a day or two extra for delivery times. I'm not sure why the first book is so slow to be delivered, though.

Yeah, I hate it too. It'll get into me bitching at him till he does something with me soon. I feel it when I'm home alone all day and he doesn't even interact with me at dinner - just takes his dinner upstairs without a word... pfft. I feel abused. :( Yeah I prefer not to, but not all books are available in larger print so I reluctantly put up with it!

That's not too bad. I've seen stuff like that, my mum says maybe they just get it in stock once its been ordered.

Haha, well you wouldn't have to if noticed you for a few moments (or more. Preferably more.) I hate it when people do that. I end up looking at them and just asking why they wont eat with me. Poor you. =( I know, this is why I don't read small print often.

It could well be that. But sometimes you order the books with the long delivery times and about 3 weeks later it tells you this book is not available at this time. :(

I know! He fails at understanding women. I even have to fish for "you look good today" compliments when I've spent fourty years making damn well sure I do look good. I know why he isn't: work. Doesn't mean I like having a week of very little communication because of standby, though. He offered to take me out next weekend. :) So that's good! :) Come to think of it, I read it quite a lot... But most of what I like is aimed at adults and produced in mass market paperbacks so they make the print small and not too spaced in order to save money, I guess.

Hmmm.... I don't get Amazon when it's like that though. I just hope for the best. =(

I don't think any guy will truly understand women. Really? I've never had those. The compliments I get are: you're cute. I wouldn't date you but you're cute. Haha, I just spend half an hour on myself and hope for the best. =P I know, you have a right to have a little attention if he's not busy. At least he's offered to take you out next weekend. =) That should be nice. =) Haha, that would explain the small print. I tend to check font size before I buy. =)

I am now reading: Fab and marvy XD

Actually half an hour's really generous for me! I usually spend about 10 mins, unless I'm doing the whole leg shave and nail polish extravaganza then it takes at least a couple of hours. I had one of those days the other day, inspired by Georgia. :) I just buy then deal with whatever I'm served.

Spectyr done! A whole year before book 3! Nooo! :(

Gonna go back to Georgia now but I'm spoilt for choice as to what to team it with. Choice is narrowed down to (which looks fantastic! Check that cover! Total judge a book by its cover there) or which is the second to last book to date in the Sarah Brandt series (most recent one is in hardback though and almost triple the price. I'll wait a year for the paperback version tyvm.)

I got The Emperor's Children from the library. It looked interesting; however I just noticed the reviews on goodreads are terrible! I started the book and immediately fell asleep D:

Oops! That's never a good start to a book!

I just started Un Lun Dun. It looks really interesting.

I finished this last night

Now im reading

Everybody! I bring good news (well, it's good news to me)!

*FANFARE*

I have finished Dracula! I feel a little embarrassed, because it's taken me nearly a whole year.

Now, I'm reading

Awesome work Louise! Now Ijust need your determination so I can read Wuthering Heights! XD

Just realised that I forgot to put what I'm reading which is

That means I should be starting tomorrow. =)

I'll do a weird Voodoo determination dance for you XD

Lol, thanks so much. XD

Gratz Louise! Only a year :P It could have been worse!

Haha, you're right! It definitely could have been worse.

I've finished all of the Georgia Nicolson series and now I am moving on to because I know it's awesome. XD

I have just started Anthill
It is great so far. I love how well it flows. It is really easy to read. I will keep you posted on my thoughts. I have been discussing great books on my facebook page that has over 1,000 followers, so check it out for more great books.http://www.facebook.com/pages/Elle-La...

I just started , since the other book I was reading is sooo bad.

WOW, ive read all 12!! :)

Why'd the rename the first book from Cirque du Freak? It's a really good series, Jeshu. :) At least, I enjoyed it a lot when I read it as a young teen!

I'm reading but I've overdosed on Georgia (4 books in 2 days) and I'm finding it a bit hard-going! :(

I have great expectatigtions in Cirque du Freak! :D

I'm reading... my phone bill! Oh dear God!

I'm reading I should be finished soon.

Im currently reading book two in the Song of Ice and Fire series. I really enjoy this series and I normally despise fantasy I didn't even like the Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter I've recently begun to lose interest with anything to do with it, but good god this series is so fantastic I love every minute of it! HIGHLY recommended.

My brother's a big fan of Martin. I'm hoping to read the books this summer. I've heard a lot about them, including threats of violence towards people who took the books away from the reader if they don't give them back!

I'm reading A Little Scottish Songbook and trying to figure out how to play all the songs on my guitar. :)

I'm reading this month's group read it's more than slightly cliched and I'm only on page 24. I think I like it at the moment though.

I'm reading The Iron King and I'm a little bit bored with it :/
I'm supposed to be reading shiver, but I forgot to trasnfer it to my sony reader and I'm too lazy to do it xD

How, can you be bored with the iron king, its amazing, how far in are you?

Oooh, I've been debting whether or not to buy that one! I think I've got it on my wishlist so I may get it for Christmas or my birthday. =)

Lol Jeshu, I made sure it was at the top of my reading pile so I couldn't avoid it. XD

I'm in the part where Meghan meets Queen Titania! So far the only character I like is Grimaulkin, and I think the heroine is annoying and stupid xD
I feel bad for not liking the book, though. I love fairies, and I was ready to love it :(
